Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and died hours after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade, a large cup of which contains more caffeine than Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined.
All Panera Bread restaurants are now displaying “enhanced” disclosures about the restaurant chain’s highly caffeinated lemonade, a spokesperson said Saturday, following a lawsuit that was filed by the family of a young woman who died after drinking the beverage.
Monday’s lawsuit, which was first obtained by NBC News, alleges that Sarah Katz, an Ivy League student with a heart condition, died after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade last year.
A large Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams — nearly the 400-milligram daily maximum of caffeine that the Food and Drug Administration says healthy adults can safely consume.
It was clearly labeled with the phrases I listed and the amounts of caffeine.

If it wasn’t, we’ll probably find out in the lawsuit. not sure what your ‘lol’ is about because you can’t say with anymore certainty it was not labeled than someone can assert that it was. As show in other articles, the sign with the name of the drink included the description of the caffeine content. It seems unlikely that it didn’t have a name label on the drink dispenser, but sure, it’s possible and if so, that is negligent of them. Unlimited Sip Club also isn’t a good idea for this drink.
As far as me and a ‘plot arc easier for you to live with’: what are you talking about? Do you think I am Panera or something and I’m wracked with guilt? Seems like an unnecessary analysis of what you think about my personality for some unknown reason.
